Currently I trade options on futures and equities in my personal a/c.

The trades generate monthly income with options strategies with defined risk (and limited but higher probability rewards). No day trading or frequent trading but monitoring the trades on a daily basis is recommended.

I am considering to trade under an LLC as a business. Has anyone done that? it is not a typical brick and mortar type or even a home based business which sells any item. I am not sure how IRS would consider this.

Thanks for any suggestions,

This would be a great topic under the FCL Forum - under the paper assets sections. You’ll find we have a few members trying out some innovative ways to trade with pension plans.

If you’re not yet a member of the Forum, you can try it out for 30 days.
